13. A Bill banning "adverse selection" wouldn't require 60, just a Senate majority.

Not a budget item. Same thing with a cap on fees.

What we have now is "greenmail" scheme by the industry. Pass it with mandatory sign-on or else we'll instruct the Senators we paid for to block the regulatory part. I wish people understood that part. Otherwise, there's no reason why everything, including industry profits, couldn't be regulated as a public utility.
